However, with the support and kind cooperation of His Excellency Foreign Minister Dee Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Sr., we were able to start the visa services for Liberians and other nationals, here in Liberia,\u201d the Indian ambassador stated further.<\/p>\n<p>Amb. Yadav also stated that any applicant who desires to travel to India for medical treatment or business purposes or any other trips, can apply online with lower fees adding \u201cthe process is easier than physically coming to the Embassy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole procedure of obtaining a visa is online, and so applicants have to come in person and do biometrics. We will try our best to provide the best visa services to Liberians and other nationalities. For example, if someone applies for a visa on the first of July, he will be issued the visa on the fourth of July,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Kemayah expressed deep gratitude and appreciation to the people of India for their excellent cooperation with Liberia, and applauded the Indian government for its support and decision to commence the issuance of visas in Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>Kemayah added that with the opening of a diplomatic mission near Monrovia, and a residence Ambassador in the country, India and Liberia have now deepened their cooperation in other productive areas of engagement.<\/p>\n<p>The Foreign Minister assured the Indian Envoy of the Foreign Ministry\u2019s unflinching support that will facilitate and enhance the conclusion of renewed bilateral cooperation between the two sisterly countries.<\/p>\n<p>He said Liberia looks forward to the provision of scholarship and training opportunities for Liberians at a new level of engagement with India.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith your level of engagement with our development agenda, we are very pleased with our relations with India,\u201d Minister Kemayah stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Kemayah particularly hailed India for its support for Africa to join the G20, noting that this is very much laudable on the part of India, \u201cwe know you have been very supportive when it comes to Africa, on several bilateral and Multilateral issues\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kemayah, therefore, commended Amb. Pradip Kumar Yadav for the pivotal role played in cementing the cooperation between Liberia and India which led to the development assistance by India to Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful to you and want to say on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that our new level of partnership with the Indian Embassy will be strengthened and ease the pressure from our people who are desirous of traveling to India for business or medical\u201d, Minister Kemayah said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
